Louise Fitzpatrick (Lou) is changing the game when it comes to anxiety support! After coming out the other side of a 20-year battle with anxiety and a 4-year battle with depression, she realised there was something seriously missing in the Mental Health Support realm.

Something that she so desperately needed in her hardest of times, but was not, and is still not readily available. And that is; a lived-experience approach to anxiety! Welcome to the world – The Anxiety Project, Confidence to Be™ & The getting Vulnerable Podcast where Lou now shares her journey to coming out the other side of her 20+ year battle with mental illness.

Lou inspires, motivates, mentors & provides hope for those who are struggling, and not getting long term results from traditional methods of therapy. She believes that TRUE connection is what’s missing. Connection that is built through vulnerability, relatability, and storytelling. Not a one-way textbook conversation, but a conversation where those who are struggling with anxiety, are fully and truly heard, & seen in a way that supports them in feeling less alone.

She believes the real pandemic in the world is loneliness & disconnection, so is passionately dedicating her time, energy & resources to change this. Lou spent over a decade, and over $20,000k on different therapies searching for a way out of her anxious mental battles but describes her experiences as one-size-fitsall-Band-Aid- “solution” with very little ‘long term’ relief.

*Lou advocates for traditional therapies, as she believes they all have their place in the healing journey, but for those that are not resonating with those therapies, this is where Lou’s work can be so life changing.
